Tortoise SVN Commit uncheck by default

Question

I was wondering if there is a way to set the checkbox default setting to not checked/none when you try to commit files into the repository. The default setting for commit is set to check all, but I would like to avoid running into the scenario where I accidentally check in items by mistake. Is there a way to configure the setup for SVN to uncheck the boxes when you first hit the commit button?

Meanwhile (TortoiseSVN 1.9.6) there is a maybe [more general solution available](https://stackoverflow.com/a/45998001/2932052) — Wolf, Sep 01 '17 at 10:17

Simple, you have the option here

Menu Settings -> Dialog 2 -> Select Items Automatically = uncheck

maybe interesting for you that there is [selection-(un)checking](https://stackoverflow.com/a/45998001/2932052) implemented meanwhile. – Wolf Sep 01 '17 at 10:19
@Wolf good to know, mainly switched to git now but it is useful nevertheless – Steve Sep 01 '17 at 10:35

A really cool feature I found today that is also a solution for the problem described. It's possible to check or un-check multiple items at once.

If you select items in the list (maybe all by pressing Alt+A), you can change the check on the selection. Just click on one item contained within the selection.

You can uncheck specific files by default using a special changelist named ignore-on-commit.

In the Commit dialog, perform (on a file with changes) Right click > Move to changelist.
Name the changelist ignore-on-commit

The next time you open the Commit dialog, the file will be unselected.

This works also in IntelliJ etc.
